moscow. now, the iranian president has accused israel of killing his country's top scientist hassan rouhani added that the assassination of the man and the mastermind of iran's nuclear program won't slow down the country's achievements, his reminder of what happened. well the iranian foreign minister is making it clear once again that tehran purely treat this as an act of state terror. jawad zarif is pointing the finger at israel, and also he is demanding international attention. terrorists murdered an imminent iranian scientists today. this cowardice with serious indications of his really role show desperate warmongering of perpetrators. iran calls on the international community and especially you see and their shameful double standards and condemn this act of state terror. well, so far there has been no response from israel and charlie at this point. we cannot make any conclusions about possible connections between this murder and also the rhetoric that we have been hearing from israeli officials on iran's nuclear activities. but the fact is that 2 years ago and $28.00 taking the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called up the name of the murdered

saysior russian diplomat moscow was put off in 2016 when the russian ambassador to the united states was criticized for reaching out to the incoming trump administration. irannues to increase its stockpile of uranium far belong far beyond the limits set aside in the 2015 nuclear deal. iran has repeatedly violated the nuclear pact since the u.s. withdrew in 2018. a warning today from new york city's mayor bill de blasio says the city has one last chance to stop a second wave of the coronavirus. on twitter today, he wrote we can do it but we have to act now. the seven day average of people testing positive is approaching 3% public healthy -- public health safety threshold that would force a shutdown of in class instruction in public schools. global news 24 hours a day on air and on quicktake by bloomberg. powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> i'm amanda lange. welcome to bloomberg markets. vonnie: we are joined by our audiences. gains.ocks lead we will have the latest on markets. then thoughts from the tiaa ceo. corporate america is stockpiling cash. some of the most embattled

iran's nuclear ambitions. perhaps killing billions this trade could be another. dan hoffman, former cia station chief who served in moscowknows the renal well. let's first start with the killing. do you think it was done now to get that assassination in before joe biden takes over? >> yeah, i think that, first of all, i would say with, you know, a hue level of confidence -- high level of confidence that israel was behind the that attack. as noted, it does fit their pattern, their m.o. for striking at iran's nuclear program. and i think prime minister net an ya sure's government -- netanyahu's government was messaging iran that chef the capability and willingness to conduct attacks inside iran against an existential threat to israel. they were also messaging the united states and the future administration of president-elect biden that israel will not allow its security, they won't outsource it to the united states. they won't accept another bad deal like the jcpoa which i think netanyahu's government would certainly argue put israel at great risk. eric: there are calls to go even further, do other things. here's a stateme

iran, and the person is murdered and people alongside him are murdered as well. there is no condemnation. so this is, this is the double standards. and i think that our people in moscow and people across the world recognize this double standard when they see how they themselves were treated with regard to an accusation about an assassination that didn't lead to any death. if it was indeed an assassination in the 1st place. so, you know, i think we have to look at the double standards in the western media among western elites, pundits and so-called experts and see how they justify murder and assassination in the global south. by attributing things that they have no proof for. do you think this killing is linked to the iran nuclear deal directly? it was something that was being spoken about becoming back on board perhaps by january or after that when joe biden looks to become the next president of the u.s. because donald trump wanted it. he left the deal that you c.p.o. way. it seemed to be coming back on track somewhat sayyid. do you see a link it's difficult to say it's possible, but then again, we don't have any great expectations of biden biden was alongside obama,

. >>> russia, china and iran are reacting to the results, we begin with holly williams in moscow. >>vladimir putin appeared today on red square just behind me. it's a national holiday here. he said nothing about the u.s. election. and russia, which u.s. intelligence concluded interfered in the 2016 election with a clear preference for president trump has publicly at least been quite even-handed this time around. president putin has said he'll work with whoever wins. now you might dismiss that as a smoke screen but remember experts in disinformation say that the overarching strategic goal for russia isn't about one candidate or one election but rather about sowing public distrust, including in the political process. to that point we've seen the russian media portraying the u.s. election as chaotic, embarrassing even and symbolic of a dysfunctional system. what about ordinary russians and their level of interest in this u.s. election? well you may be surprised to learn that one recent poll found that 55% of people here had not heard of joe biden. gayle? >> whoa, okay. that puts things

moscow. on china there's cyber, there's trade, issues relatted to chinese aggressiveness of hong kong and maybe taiwan. there's iraq and afghanistan and reduced number of transportation there and issues of proliferation involving north korea and iranhere are issues related to the rise of authoritarian leadership and the impact of climate change. the challenge for the biden administration is dealing with the issues simultaneously and dealing with issues on the domestic front. any of these threats including terrorism can pop up overnight but i think joe biden has assembled a very, very talented and experienced team to address the issues well as he takes office. >> so obviously you have praised so far the cabinet choices heard by the president-elect. there is one name under consideration for cia director consideration, mike morel. he was acting cia director in 2013. oregon senator said he will vote against morel as a torture apoll gist. >> i don't know who will be tapped to head up the cia. i worked with michael morel for decades and talented and competent 'and i think ron widen that takes the blind ideological views and unfortunately he's unfairly smeared a lot of the intelligence professionals over the years, he would be well advis

hoffman, a former cia station chief, served in moscow, pakistan and iraq, as you know, he was on earlier, and eric asked mr. hoffman if he believes iran'sthe assassination of iran's top nuclear scientist. here's what he said. >> yeah, i think that, first of all, i would say that, you know, a high level of confidence that israel was behind the attack. as noted, it does fit their pattern, their m.o. for striking at iran's nuclear program. and i think that prime minister benjamin netanyahu's government was messaging iran, for sure, that they are -- that israel has the capability and the willingness to conduct lethal attacks inside iran against a nuclear program that is an existential threat. arthel: and iran vows retaliation. and as you mentioned, president-elect biden is considering reentering the iran nuclear deal or at least a revised version of that. what kind of predicament does this put the president-elect in? >> well, look, it's really the thing that makes it harder for him with tensions rising. look, these are not tensionings of israel or the united states' creation, this is because of iran's continued pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

iran nuclear deal, something that joe biden has pledged to do. in india, we have seen fireworks, celebrations in the ancestral village of vice president elect kamala harris. holly williams, thank you, reporting from moscowto self. back in 2016, we asked the then vice president biten to write a letter to himself as a child. >>> much more news ahead. we talk to p >>> we have much more news ahead. we will talk with president trump's former chief of staff reince priebus about the president's decision not the concede and his strategy to challenge legal voting without proof. >>> plus a look at the career of vice president-elect kamala harris and her journey to become the first woman on a winning presidential ticket. you are watching "cbs this morning." you're watching "cbs this morning." prudential helps 1 in 7 americans with their financial needs. that's over 25 million people. with over 90 years of investment experience, our thousands of financial professionals can help with secure video chat or on the phone. we make it easy for you with online tools, e-signatures, and no-medical-exam life insurance. plan for better days. go to prudential.com or talk to an advisor. plan for better days. when panhe doesn't j
